Subject: [Mapserver-users] ArcView created layer not working in =
mapscript
Hello,
I am trying to make my own tiny, amatuer layer in ArcView 3.x and =
display it in mapscript but I am failing, I will be very glad if anyone =
can help...
This alyer of mine is just a single point at a certain coordinate, =
with a single label. I had learned how to make point layers from this =
list before but when it comes to adding label, I am stuck.
What I do in ArcView 3.x is:
1. Export data into a textfile
2. Choose Table->Add and select your Textfile
3. Choose View->Add Event Theme and select txt-table, the X- and=20
the Y-field.
4. Choose Theme->Convert to shapefile
My text file is:
"X","Y","NAME"
29.0708,40.9678,HELLO
So it is supposed to print thi point at the X and Y and also label it =
with HELLO
The shapefile I create works in Arcview itself but not under =
php/mapscript with this layer definition in the mapfile:
LAYER
NAME mylayer
TYPE point
STATUS ON
DATA mylayer
LABELCACHE ON
LABELITEM 'NAME'
CLASS
NAME 'NAME'
SYMBOL 'circle'
SIZE 5
COLOR 64 0 64
LABEL
TYPE truetype
# FORCE true
FONT arial
COLOR 64 0 64
ANGLE AUTO
POSITION AUTO
MINSIZE 2
SIZE 6
END
END
END
It gives an error about the NAME column.=20
Any ideas on creating a simple, labelled point layer?
Have a nice day.
